I am a wife and a mother first and an avid political writer second.... I do not subscribe to the belief in government expansion "for the greater good."

I believe in smaller government - less taxes - and capitalism.

I also believe we cannot afford to be a strategically weak nation at this point in history. I believe in a strong defense but I am NOT an advocate for war although I am one who believes that the practice of ethnic cleaning or GENOCIDE should absolutely not, for ANY reason, be tolerated and I DO believe in force in these situations.
Politically, I am a conservative and no fan of Barack Obama and the current plans in Congress.
Obama campaigned on the biggest platform of lies ever told in the race for a US President and I question his motives especially in his need to move so quickly and aggressively in the expansion of the government's role OVER private industry, banking and healthcare and more.
I respect the opinions of all and believe that as a Constitutional Republic, we should all be discussing the course of this nation and what is currently occurring with constant communication.
I am one of four daughters of a Marine and a nurse, with a Catholic upbringing and a strong sense of moral and ethical responsibility.
I love my country, my husband, my children, my adopted pets, my family and my FREEDOM.
I consider myself an avid reader and writer and do not shy away from political or religious discussions as I am not easily offended when others disagree with me - that's the beauty of debates and discussions. SOMETIMES another perspective can change a mind - mine included!

My articles are written from a conservative perspective and I would encourage anyone who enjoys what they read to visit my personal blog at www.viewpointright.com

I will always remember that it is FREEDOM of speech that allows us to be as honest with one another as we are and it is also the very FREEDOM that is in greatest jeapordy in the USA right now.
